****ING DISGRACEFUL. If that country is so d@mn good... why the **** are they here?

their parents come here with hope and praise the place for what it offers, then the children are spoiled and dont know the slums their parents waded through.... maybe we should shoot down this bush bill and take out montebelo along with it.... i cant belive that crap, disgraceful.

Umm I don't get it... They are mad that the U.S. is trying to stop their illigal cousins from stealing from the U.S.?? They are mad they can come here and get better paying jobs?? orr clean water? It's like giving a Bum a filet of beef and him spitting it out...

fcuking fence jumpers!! we should just set up a few thousand gun towers along the boarder. 50 cals and snipers. no need for a fence. if they want to come to us and they`re feeling lucky........ then bring it ******

Reason: Let's leave racial epithets out of this.

Idiots like these flag raising HYPOCRATES don't realize that they're just going to make it worse on their fellow brethren. All they are going to do is breed contempt for what they believe in. I can't wrap my head around why it is that people do **** like this when it's so counter productive and only causes bullets to be fired back at them...IE see two posts above, lol.

Actually, flying the American flag upside down is a sign of distress I believe, as is flying it at night. I think the troops should be sent in... just in case. That would make for a good story.

Yes in Vietnam that was unofficially a distress signal. But in this case, it is just blatant disrespect for a symbol that so many generations have fought and died for. And they hop over here to get the protection, and freedoms that flag sybolizes, and do **** like that. **** THAT!!!

I spent some time in Mexico last year studying. The big idea that the REAL Mexicans in Mexico City gave me was that we were getting the Mexican trash. The people who had no future in Mexico, not good people. After that, I was all in favor of putting up a wall of at least some gaurd dogs with lasers or something.

These problems will not stop until people are forced to make real choices and be honest about the problem. Far too many people live in a world of political correctness and/or idealism, and this is turn causes a complete inability to recognize reality.
People who behave in the manner represented in the photos have no allegiance to the USA and those who do have allegiance to the USA should be disgusted.

No they do not have allegiance, but respect should be necessary. The US is so twisted on this PC crap, its painful... God help someone like that if they came over here to germany, and did that to their flag.

It would send the wrong message, which is the truth. People just aren't assimilating anymore. They used to, now they don't. I don't pretend to know why, but I think the fact that the government makes it easier to not assimilate through bilingual education could be a big issue. Teaching extreme versions of multi culturalism which beg the question if all cultures are equal, why the **** did they or their parents come here in the first place, is another issue I would say.

As a general trend I think as political correctness over took common sense things got worse, plain and simple. If you see a gang of El Salvadorians chopping people to pieces, and no one else is doing it, it's 'improper' to point out their nationality. If young, religiously zealous Muslims are blowing themselves up and flying planes into buildings, and no one else is doing it, it's 'improper' to point out those distinct characteristics. I don't like saying it, but more and more it's becoming clear to me that in some cases nationality, race, and religion are reliable standards of judgement as to whether or not I want to associate with someone, or even want them within 50 yards of me.

If that makes me a racist, so be it. I'm kind of tired of denying what my eyes and common sense tell me for the sake of the feelings of the very people who constantly **** on me because of my country, my race, and my religion or lack thereof. **** 'em.

Great way to get people to not only NOT support your cause, but come after you with a vengence.

People in this country really just have no concept of how bad the illegal immigration problem really is. I work down on the border often and it's a nightmare. I have to carry a pistol because the criminal element that follows the wannabe workers North is indiscriminant in it's violence and also because Border Patrol has made it known to myself and my coworkers that they don't want to have to babysit unarmed people in the desert (not that we ask them to).

I see trail after fresh trail heading north with piles of garbage, water bottles, human feces everywhere and I wonder why it is that simple biologist can no longer wander around in his own desert and why virtually no one in this country sees this as a serious problem.

I kind of feel sorry for hard-working Mexicans who come here illegally looking for a better life. However, punks like these are hardening everyone's opinion on the subject. I doubt it would be too hard for any of these people to try to go back to Mexico. If they don't respect and appreciate this country, that's what they should do.

Yeah, that does suck. Ive worked with Mexican immigrants before and everyone I met was a hard worker and good person. Obviously some are *******s and ruin it for the rest of them. Pretty much like any human race or culture.

While this isn't my flag, I can personally say I would be utterly offended and discontent if the same had been done to the Canadian flag. While I do not think it's prudent to characterize an entire geo-political phenomena based on this one event, I more than agree with the sentiment expressed here (for the most part, I don't think the blatant racist remarks were necessary).

1. Where the **** was the Principal. He/She should have damn well known about these intentions ahead of time. A ****ty school is usually led by a ****ty administration. Shame on the administrators for allowing this to happen. They could have called the police ahead of time to prevent this.

2. I guaran****intee you guys that this happened during class hours which means the students should be in class. Not acceptable at all. I can tell you one thing I've learned about working with high schoolers and that is that they will get away with whatever you let them get away with.

3. We had attemted walk outs at the high school I work for last year during the protest for illegal immigrants and our administrators suspened and/or expelled students who participated or organized the event. We only had like 100 students walk out and we were ****in boiling mad because we lose funding which means they're also ****ed in the grand scheme of things but I'm sure this was never considered by the students or parents.

This is very troubling and the students who organized this should be sent back to a Mexican high school if they really want to be in Mexico that bad. No one's forcing them stay here, they can ****in pack their bags and go back to Mexico if they really love it that much.

Do they even know what this country stands for ? How ignorant and disrespectful of them. If they really weren't oppressed in Mexico then they would have probably never come to the US. We are not against immigration, we're only against illegal immigration because it's ILLEGAL. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear that the Mexican national anthem was being played in a school over the star spangled banner sometime soon.

Read the Snopes link I put up. It lets you know what the school officials were doing at the time of the protesting. Honestly, locking down the school was probably the best way of doing it. While i personally would want to defend the flag and most here would too. The job of the school staff is to protect the children left in their trust and by going out to stop this event they were putting the school's schildren at risk if things would of got out of hand.

Okay, stand corrected, which has happened before It's just that you usually don't have an administration allow this sort of chaos without having knowledge.

They mentioned some students that broke into Montebello started throwing bottles because Montebello students wouldn't join. Right there was reason enough to call the police and send some kids to juvenile hall for their actions. That was insane.
